CPUSE - Software Updates

Important - It is not supported to manually upgrade the CPUSE Agent on Scalable Platforms (Known Limitation MBS-2372).

With CPUSE, you can automatically update Check Point products for the Gaia OS, and the Gaia OS itself. The software update packages and full images are for major releases, minor releases and Hotfixes. All of the CPUSE processes are handled by the Deployment Agent daemon (DA).

Gaia automatically locates and shows the available software update packages and full images that are applicable to the Gaia operating system version installed on the computer, the computer's role (Security Gateway, Security Management Server, Standalone), and other specific properties. The images and packages can be downloaded from the Check Point Support Center and installed.

You can add a private package to the list of available packages. A private package is a Hotfix, which is located on the Check Point Support Center, and is only available to limited audiences.

When you update Check Point software, make sure to:

• Define the CPUSE policy for downloads and installation.

  Downloads can be:

  • Manual

  • Automatic

  • Scheduled (daily, weekly, monthly, or one time only).

  Installations are:

  • Hotfixes are downloaded and installed automatically by default

  • Full installation and upgrade packages must be installed manually

• Define mail notifications for completed package actions and for the new package updates.

• Run the software download and installation.

Note - You must have a CPUSE policy defined, before you download and run upgrades.
